I  am an Alabama native and have held many broad-ranging positions throughout my career, from Head Children's Librarian at a large public library system to Instruction Librarian and Access Services Supervisor at the University of Alabama Huntsville. I have a passion for cultural heritage preservation and love participating in outreach activities to share my enthusiasm for libraries and archives.  While at Stanford I have worked on special projects, such as photographic negatives condition assessments, and I am keen to learn more about photographic processes and the preventive preservation of photographic prints and negatives. Additionally, I have recently served as an archival processing intern at the GLBT Historical Society Museum & Archives in San Francisco and at The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford.
